Forgies or not.. It doesn't matter. What matters is what comp ratio the given piston returns.

Cam timing, engine temp, piston/bore clearance and the gauge its self all vary the read out.

Mine with was up over 150psi in all cylinders, all exactly the same apart from cyl 3 or was it 4!? :laugh: that was only 1psi down. BUT the motor was stone cold.

I'm just about to give it another comp test *with the same guage* after 50,000km's so it shall be interesting how it comes up.

Raa told me 5 percent in their little box on the report. whatever that means. RB25Det was at 125,000kms. enlighten me...
Probably the compression results are within 5% of one another which is acceptable but, they should've still provided a reading for each cylinder in their report. Results for a stockish RB25DET in good condition are generally between 140 - 170psi(newish engine).

Its just a comp guage with 5 little lines between the big numbers. :( I crank until it stops moving.

Unsure on the brand have never taken notice. The old man bought it many years ago, he's not one to buy cheap, he always spends the little bit more to get the better one.

The guage reads out both in bar and psi.

I'm not concerned on the actual final number as it doesn't mean a lot, I'm just stoked how spot on each cylinder is. :D

The old rb20 varied by 5psi when it had supposively done 67,000km's.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
